The Internet, and many forms of online commerce and communication that depend on it, may be on the brink of a "cryptopalypse" resulting from the collapse of decades-old methods of shared encryption.

A type of Diffie-Helman cryptography algorithm that uses elliptic curve cryptography. See Diffie-Hellman and elliptic curve cryptography. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other ...

When the most widely used encryption algorithms are broken, websites that support strong security to protect banking sessions could fail, opening them up to attack; online shopping sites that protect ...

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a core component in securing digital systems, widely used in applications ranging from internet communications to embedded devices. It supports key cryptographic ...

A cryptographic key exchange method developed by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman in 1976. Also known as the "Diffie-Hellman-Merkle" method and "exponential key agreement." Diffie-Hellman enables ...

Researchers at Black Hat USA 2013 made a call for usage of elliptic curve cryptography in favor of the RSA algorithm, which the experts said could be cracked in the next five years. LAS VEGAS – ...

Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman's privacy-protecting technology has become both an inextricable part of modern life and a scourge to law enforcement. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to ...

Editor's note: See the original article on PurpleAlientPlanet. Some of my research is focused on the implementation issues of elliptic curve cryptography on embedded systems. Since I often have to ...

We all know the usual jokes about the ‘S’ in ‘IoT’ standing for ‘Security’. It’s hardly a secret that security in embedded, networked devices (‘IoT devices’) is all too often a last-minute task that ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...
